Mega Millions jackpot stretches to $230M for drawing Friday

ATLANTA – Friday’s drawing for the Mega Millions jackpot marks an estimated $230 million to a single annuity winner.

The jackpot began rolling Oct. 4 and has rolled 16 times.

One winning ticket worth $5,000 was sold in Duluth from the Nov. 26 drawing.

Mega Millions offers two jackpot payment options: the $230 million annuity prize paid out as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual graduated payments; or the cash option, which is approximately $125 million.

It only takes $1 to play Mega Millions for a chance to win big. Players can multiply prizes with the Megaplier option for an additional $1 per play.

As with all other Georgia Lottery games, proceeds from Mega Millions will benefit education in the state of Georgia.
